#BrainStim ⚡🧠

TMSMultiLab is an international network for researchers using #TMS - transcranial magnetic stimulation.

There are about 85 of us, over 14 countries. We've written a few papers so far (under review / in prep), but more importantly we hold monthly Meetings:

Free to all!

🚨New preprint🚨
Very excited about the last work led by Dugué Lab PhD student Yue Kong on TMS-induced #traveling_waves.

Our new approach ...

📣 Exciting news:
As we've been unable to decide which is the best open-source package for psychology (PsychoPy, Open Sesame or jsPsych) @peircej.bsky.social, @cogsci.nl and @joshdeleeuw.bsky.social have agreed to resolve this once and for all, in a live-streamed, three-way.....arm wrestle!

#BIDS has been extended to #EyeTracking data!

There is now a standard for organizing and sharing eye tracking, covering gaze position, pupil size, meta data, messages, and more. Great news for #OpenScience! 🎉

Screenshot of job ad: How do Bayesian brains acquire priors? APPLICATIONS CLOSE 20/4/2026 11:55 PM Summary of the Project This project explores how the brain constructs perceptual experience from visual input, focusing on the role of Bayesian models in perception. A key challenge in vision science is understanding how humans interpret complex scenes from the limited information available in retinal images. Modern theories suggest that perception involves probabilistic inference, where the brain integrates sensory signals with prior expectations to make sense of the world. However, the origins and nature of these expectations remain poorly understood. This research aims to advance our understanding of perceptual experience by examining how structured patterns in visual input can inform models of perception. The work spans computational modelling and experimental approaches to uncover principles that explain how visual systems interpret properties such as shape, material, and lighting from images. By addressing fundamental questions about perception, this project will contribute to psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, offering insights into how biological and artificial systems can learn to interpret complex environments.

I'm looking for a skilled PhD student who doesn't want to work too hard but still do great science:
